Stange-Jonsson, returning from a 2013 spring injury, gave UMBC a 2-0 lead with a 6-1, 6-1 victory over Donielle Richard at the No. 5 position. In her collegiate debut, freshman Mariami Dolashvili (Ukraine) cruised past Sydney Thomas, 6-1, 6-2 at the No. 3 position and Cleary clinched the match for the Retrievers with a 6-4, 6-2 triumph over Maria Lackey at the No. 6 slot.

"We came out very fast in the doubles which really set the tone going into the singles," said head coach Rob Hubbard. "That was a little bit of a surprise as we are still working on different doubles combinations at the moment. The women demonstrated a strong understanding of doubles strategy though which was reflected in their scores.

"Kudos to Mariami Dolashvili and Olga Baikulova, as the freshmen played well in their first dual match while picking up their first wins (singles) as Retrievers today. We will see a lot of good things from them in the future."
